ORDERING INFORMATION
The 46132-41 RemoteMaster is a master alarm system primarily intended for small sites. The RemoteMaster
gathers alarm information from 64 ground-activated discrete
alarm inputs. In addition, 8 on-board relays are available for use
as controls and two serial ports interrogate TBOS equipment.
All this alarm information is gathered and reported to two
responder ports which send that information towards your
Alarm Center.
A front panel LED display reports port status and alarm infor-
mation. On-site configuration is quick and simple. The 46132-41
RemoteMaster differs from the other RemoteMasters:
♦Defaults to TABS protocol on its two responder ports
♦Front panel configurable for TABS address (0-31)
♦New backplane makes interconnection easier
♦New power connections allow redundent power supplies
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is presented in two parts, Standard Installation
and Custom Installation/Custom Configuration.
Standard Installation
Use this section if your application requires a TABS responder
and discrete alarm reporting only. The 46132-41 RemoteMaster
is factory-configured for:
♦TABS output
♦2400 baud, odd parity, 1 stop bit, 8 bit word length, RS-422
♦Discrete alarm gathering only
All that remains is to mount the unit in the rack, wire the
required alarms and responder ports and, from the front panel,
set the TABS address.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

46132-41-0800<90-00209>> PAGE 3
Fig.1 shows the functional schematic for the RemoteMaster.
DISCRETE ALARM INPUTS
The RemoteMaster circuit board has 64 discrete alarm inputs
that are optically isolated. Alarms 1-24 and 33-64 each have a
single input that requires a ground to activate the alarm cir-
cuitry. Alarms 25-32 each have two inputs, one for negative
battery (factory-wired) and one for ground.
TBOS ALARM INPUTS
Two TBOS interrogator ports poll TBOS equipment for alarm
information. Each port polls up to 8 displays of information for a
total of 16 displays on both ports. The data interface standard on
each port is RS-422/485.
These ports are inactive by factory-default.
CONTROL OUTPUTS
The RemoteMaster circuit board has eight control outputs
which each have two pins wired to normally open relay contacts.
Custom Installation and Custom Configuration
Use these sections if your application requires parameters other
than the defaults shown above. These options could include:
♦DCP, DCPF, or TBOS protocols on either of the two re-
sponder ports.
♦Serial (TBOS) alarm polling
♦RS-232 on responder ports
♦Different baud rates

RESPONDER PORTS
Responder ports send alarm information to alarm reporting
equipment.
Ports 1 and 2 can be either an RS-422/485 (default) or RS-232
interface. The RS-422/485 receive input can be terminated with
182 ohms (switch option).
If RS-232 is used on ports 1 or 2, RTS/CTS handshaking can be
used.
Port 3 is not used.
Port 4 is not available for use at this time.
Both responder ports communicate with either DCP, DCPF,
TBOS, or TABS protocol.
CONFIGURATION PORT
To program the RemoteMaster to operate with any protocols or
options that differ from the factory default, an Ascii terminal
can be connected to the RS-232 configuration port. The Ascii
terminal connects to C1 on the front panel.
LOCAL ALARM AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Wire external audible or visual devices, such as bells or lights, to
the RemoteMaster for local alarm monitoring. When there is an
alarm, a relay in the change-of-state (COS) circuit operates the
device. If the alarm device is operating and another alarm
occurs, the relay will pulse once.
Depending on how the RemoteMaster has been programmed,
the relay returns to its non-alarm state either (1) when all the
alarms clear or (2) when a timer expires after 15 minues. Manu-
ally reset the relay either by applying a ground at the ACK COS
input (C52) or by pushing the front panel acknowledge button
(button 4).
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
The 46132-41 RemoteMaster de-
faults to TABS protocol on its re-
sponder ports. Configuration of
the TABS address can be per-
formed from the front panel,
eliminating the need to open the
unit or supply an external termi-
nal or computer.
NOTE:
Use RS-422 for point-to-point
connections and RS-485 for
multi-point connections.
NEW NOTE

PAGE 6 46132-41-0800<90-00209>>
PUSH BUTTONS AND LED DISPLAY
On the front panel are five push buttons and five seven-segment
LED displays. Using them, you can:
♦Configure the TABS address of the responder ports
♦Identify the configured TABS address
♦Query alarms or failed TBOS displays
♦Monitor activity on active TBOS and responder ports
♦Reset the RemoteMasters microprocessor
♦Acknowledge alarms
♦Identify alarm location
POWER
The RemoteMaster operates on -21 to -56VDC applied at a
connector on the back panel. Power goes through fuse F1 (two
amperes) to an on-board power supply. Power also goes to
wire-wrap pins C33 and C34 on the backplane. These pins,
which are limited to 15 mA of current, provide power to alarm
inputs 25-32.
NOTE: The 46132-41 RemoteMaster now provides redundent power
hookups. Two separate external power supplies can be
connected to the RemoteMaster unit. Either supply can power
the unit should the other fail.
If the fuse fails, the fuse alarm (FA) LED on the front panel
lights. A relay also operates an external alarm.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
When power is ap-
plied to the Remote-
Master, negative bat-
tery voltage is present
at pins C33 and C34
on the backplane. For
safety, keep the plas-
tic cover closed during
normal operation.

46132-41-0800<90-00209>> PAGE 7

WIRING
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to the unit, do not make any
connections to the RemoteMaster if the power is connected
and turned on.
When cabling to the RemoteMaster, leave sufficient slack in
the cabling to permit the internal printed circuit board to slide
out from the edge connector side (refer to Fig. 4). This allows
replacement of the circuit board without having to rewire the
connectors.
When wiring the RemoteMaster, divide the wiring so about half
of it comes out the right side of the unit and half of it extends
out the left side of the unit.
BONDING AND GROUNDING CONDUCTOR AND CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
To ensure positive connections, the following guidelines shall be
adhered to:
1. All bonding and grounding conductors (wire, bus bars, or braided
straps for example) shall be made of copper and of sufficiently low
impedance to safely conduct any fault current.
Aluminum shall not be used.
2. Conductors of dissimilar metals shall not be used in terminals or
splicing connectors. Any flux, inhibitors, or compounds (where
used) shall be suitable and shall not adversally affect the conduc-
tor, the installation, or the equipment.
STANDARD INSTALLATION
CONTINUED . . .

PAGE 10 46132-41-0800<90-00209>>
3. All unplated connectors, braided straps, and bus bars shall be
brought to a bright finish and coated with an antioxidant before
crimp connections are made.
Tinned, solder-plated, or silver-plated and other plated connection
surfaces do not have to prepared this way, but they shall be clean
and free of contaminants. Raceway fittings shall be tightened to
provide a low-impedance path.
4. Multiple connectors shall not be secured by the same bolt assem-
bly.
5. Any unplated connection surfaces used (if any) that are part of a
grounding or bonding path shall be brought to a bright finish and
coated with an antioxidant before being electrically connected.
6. All grounding and bonding conductors shall be connected by exo-
thermic welding or compression type fittings to the greatest extent
possible.
Connector devices depending solely on solder shall not be used.
7. The following connector types shall not be used to terminate
grounding or bonding connections:
♦Soldering lugs
♦Screwless (push-in)
♦Friction-fit

TABS ADDRESS SELECTION
The 46132-41 RemoteMaster is factory-set for the following
defaults:
♦TABS output on one or two digital ports (starts with display 0)
♦2400 baud, odd parity, 1 stop bit, 8 bit word length on both
ports
♦RS-422 on both ports
♦Only discrete alarm inputs
If these are the desired settings, all that remains after installa-
tion is to set the TABS address on the two responder ports. If
parameters other than these are desired, refer to the next
section, Custom Installation.
STANDARD INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Connect chassis ground to
the ground lug located on
the side of the RemoteMas-
ter. Do not connect chassis
ground to the power connec-
tor.
Chassis and signal grounds
are isolated from each other.

PAGE 16 46132-41-0800<90-00209>>
SETTING THE TABS ADDRESS
Immediately following power-up, the following sequence of events
takes place.
Power On Self Test
This is a self-diagnostic that the RemoteMaster performs on
itself every time power is applied. This test takes approximately
3 seconds. After the POST, there are two possible situations:
♦There is no configuration in memory. (Because it has never
been configured, or because the memory has been cleared.)
♦There is a configuration in memory.
NOTE: If, during the POST, the configuration in memory is discovered
to be corrupted, the memory will be cleared.
No Configuration in Memory
If there is no configuration in memory, the front panel display
will show Addr. This is a prompt for the user to enter the
TABS address desired. The unit will not be polling its serial
ports (they are inactive by default) or responding to any polls
from the alarm master. The front panel switches do not function
as normal, but rather as described in the following steps.
1. Press button 1 to change the display to 0 and increment the num-
ber up one each time it is pressed. Upon reaching 31, the display
wraps around to 0 again.
Press button 2 to decrement the number down one each time it is
pressed. Upon reaching 0, the display wraps around to 31.
2. Using buttons 1 and 2, select the desired TABS address. This ad-
dress will apply to both responder ports 1 and 2.
NOTE: There is no timeout for this step. An address must be selected
before the RemoteMaster will do anything. After an address
has been selected there will be a 30 second timeout, at which
time the unit will begin normal operation.
3. After selecting the desired address, press button 5 to apply that ad-
dress to both TABS ports and place the RemoteMaster in normal
operating mode. The front panel buttons will now operate as nor-
mal (refer to the Operation section), the responder ports will begin
responding to polls from the alarm master, and the configuration port
will be available for configuration modification.
NOTE: Pressing button 5 will not do anything unless an address has
been selected first.

Pre-existing Configuration in Memory
If the 46132-41 RemoteMaster has been configured previously,
there are two possibilities:
♦At least one responder port has been configured for TABS.
♦No responder ports are currently configured for TABS.
If at least one responder port has been configured for TABS,
following the Power On Self Test the front panel will display the
address of the first port configured for TABS. Press buttons 1 or
2 to change the address if desired. Press button 5 to select the
address displayed and begin normal operation. There is a
timeout of 30 seconds, at which time the unit will begin normal
operation based on the configuration in memory.
If the responder ports have all been configured for protocol other
than TABS, the unit will begin normal operation immediately
after the Power On Self Test.
STANDARD INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Press front panel buttons 1 and 2
at the same time during normal
operation to display the configured
TABS address of port 1 on the
front panel display.

This section describes those steps necessary to install the RemoteMaster in those applications where parameters are
desired other than the factory defaults. Factory defaults are:
♦TABS output on one or two digital ports
♦2400 baud, odd parity, 1 stop bit, 8 bit word length on both
ports
♦RS-422 on both ports
♦Only discrete alarm inputs
If the settings shown above are the desired settings, refer to the
previous section, Standard Installation.
If settings are desired that differ from the above, such as en-
abling the TBOS ports, different responder port protocols, baud
rates, etc., this section includes:
♦Switch and Strap Settings
♦Equipment Mounting
♦Wiring
♦Configuration
♦Troubleshooting.
SWITCH AND STRAP SETTINGS
Switches are provided for setting the electrical interface of the
responder ports. These are located on a small subassembly
located in the middle of the main board.
Remove the five screws on the front of the unit. Refer to Fig. 6.
Pull out the printed circuit board to expose the switches and
straps. Refer to Fig. 7 for the locations.
